observations of the day

I went to a funeral for a coworker’s husband today. He had an aggressive brain tumor, he fought it the first time around was tumor free for I think about 1.5 years but the second timeit came back he lost the battle. The services where held at a catholic church, it has been a very long time since I was at Mass. It's funny I remembered all my lines! “And also with you” stand up/ sit down/ stand up sit down. Then we headed to the bar to celebrate his life, now that was different for me, I have only been too a bar like twice in my whole life.

My observations of the day are: I found it amazing that Gods blessings are given to us even in an unredeemed state, not to say we are all walking the narrow path or call on him as redeemer and are saved, but God has created all things and the natural man was given so much to thank God for, the comfort of friends, strength to go on the pleasures of food and the blessing of sleep…. just to name a few!!

Before I was walking with the Lord I can look back on my path and see Gods hand in my life, I wonder if Gods hand is there but until you are saved you can not see it? I am not sure if that is biblical or not. I do know that Jesus was called a friend of sinners and Romans 5:8 says “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

I wonder if I am being new age-ie “God is in everything” ??
I think what I am feeling is thankful to God that even the unsaved around me are blessed by Him. Even if they don’t see it as Him. I pray that the scales would fall from their eyes and He would save them.
Because really what gain is it to have everything and loose your soul?

National Cherry Blossom Festival

I have never been, but some day i would like to go
The National Cherry Blossom Festival annually commemorates the 1912 gift to the city of Washington of 3,000 cherry trees from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo to enhance the growing friendship between the United States and Japan and celebrate the continued close relationship between our two peoples.

Average

Ok It’s dawned on me I am painfully average. I’m pretty sure my IQ is average, I know my looks are, my height, my weight (well its just a few pounds more then average) my income .LOL I’m telling you I am so the “perfect” average. I have my 1.5 kids, my credit score is a high average.
Well I could let this tweak with me out but you know what it really doesn’t
You know why? This is really profound…. Jesus loves me!! Like sometime I am temped to be bummed I’m noting special in the eyes of the world. But what dose it really matter? I am love by the king, and makes my heart want to sing! It so hard to be so self deprecating when none of it really matters, all that matters is that I am wholly surrendered to King Jesus. This is not a consolation prize; really it’s not!! for me it is my prize.
